Within the Crystal Lake Watershed
there are two lakes one can explore, the large Crystal Lake and the small and quiet
Round Lake.

With the new addition of the MDNR's
major and full-featured Crystal
Lake Boating Access Site
off Mollineaux Road, Crystal Lake now has seven public access sites of significance,
as well as several accesses at road-ends.

Round Lake has one simple access
site off of M-22. The lake itself is in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore
and empties into Crytal Lake.

There are many rules that govern
these sites. They have been designated "points of access" for the general
public and are limited to swimming (and in some cases boating) after sunrise and
until 12 midnight. No permanent or seasonal moorings or dockages are permitted.

Perhaps the most important rule is that of simple common courtesy. We are allsharing this nature-made beautiful lake, so please be respectful of those
using these access sites and the property owners next to these sites.

Round Lake Public Access Site

We are all sharing access and use
of this lake in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, so please be respectful
of others using this access site as well as the area itself. And those fishing here
need to be aware of, as always, any township, county, state, or federal regulations
that apply.
